CRE-8-BIT Event was a SUCCESS!

For our second month at our new location, F+GALLERY, we had another successful day of networking, new, along with repeat, customers, festivities and food.

This month's event was called: "CRE-8-BIT".

At this event we had 13 vendors, not including our wonderful food truck. We offered several entertaining services and a free make and take craft. At each event we try to have a make and take.

The free craft consisted of perler beads which create such amazing 8-bit style designs. Instructions were on the table and our customers just had a blast! Anyone could do it!

Our 8-BIT Photo Booth captured a lot of attention. We found many people wanted to be pose with family and friends in funny photos.

One of our beautiful coordinators, Genevieve, had her birthday, and was given a yummy gluten-free cake to celebrate before the event. (The cake was from a bakery in Fountain Valley called "Sensitive Sweets")

Along with the Make and Take, Photo Booth, and shopping, we also offered several services, such as:

Even one of our vendors, Robyn from Goody Jar Designs jumped in on the caricature fun!

A new food truck came to our event, and boy was it delicious: WAFFLE-ICIOUS! They had so many good items, one customer went back 4 times to try something different. The food was affordable and incredible! Everyone who ate it would tell their next customer what to order. 2 of the coordinators ordered the Grilled Cheese, and it was excellent!

Waffle-icious asked to join us again, and we are so happy to say that we will be having them back at future events.

At the entrance, we had FREE SWAG to giveaway, ASTEROID buttons.
Those who arrive early to our events sometimes get a little somethin' somethin'.

Amongst all of the fun, we had a raffle going on throughout the event. One of our vendors, Audrey from Audrey Miller Art, had her heart set on this "TOFU GIRLS" print...she bought a lot of raffle tickets and it paid off!!!!

We want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all of our vendors, Waffle-icious and of course all of our customers, friends and family who came out and supported our event. We love to see each and every one of you. This is our passion and each of our vendors loves to share what they make.

Please keep supporting local handmade arts and crafts. These people are too talented to have desk jobs!
